There are more than 6,000 languages spoken in the world, but 90% of the population speaks only 10% of them.

We don’t know exactly how language originated. However, some type of spoken language must have developed between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago, and written language around 5,000 years ago.

Key Areas of Linguistics

• Linguistics: The scientific study of human language.
• Grammar: The study of language structure (the rules we follow).
• Morphology: The study of the formation and composition of words.
• Syntax: The study of the rules for the formation of grammatical sentences.
• Semantics: The study of meaning.
• Pragmatics: The study of meaning in context.
• Phonology: The study of how sounds are organized and used in natural languages.
• Phonetics: The study of

Unit 10: Exposure and Focus on Form

What are Exposure and Focus on Form?

• Exposure: Learning a language by hearing and/or reading it, without studying it
  • We then learn the language by picking it up (learn without realizing it) → we learn our first language like this
• Focus on form: Notice how a language is pronounced and written, and how its grammar and vocabulary are formed and used
  • This is how we learn a foreign language

* In order to learn a language, it is necessary to interact

Key Concepts

Main ways in which we learn a language:

1. Language acquisition (picking up language)

• Exposure (inside and outside the classroom)
  • Teachers can use comprehension or language tasks, and graded readers
• Silent period
  • We need to hear and read the language just beyond our

Avoiding Plagiarism

• To avoid plagiarism, students must:

1. Summarize and paraphrase sources: Students should rephrase information from sources in their own words, maintaining the original meaning.
2. Reference sources correctly in text: Any information that is not common knowledge must be attributed to its source.
3. Use direct quotes appropriately.
4. Produce a reference list: Create a list of all sources cited in your essay, following the Harvard referencing system.

Researching for Essays

• When researching for an essay, what do students need to take into account when selecting their sources?
• Sources must be reliable.
• Take information from official websites.
• Use a variety of research sources, both printed and electronic (e-sources).

Reading Techniques

• Three different

Present simple: verb normal and only add -es/-s in 3rd person singular. In negative, add don't or doesn't.

Dear Mr.

My teacher has informed me that you require someone to do the computer design of your pieces using SolidWorks. I have experience using this program from my internship, so I am proficient in most of its applications and can create a variety of pieces. I am eager to further specialize my skills through courses to become even faster and more precise in this role. I am a quick learner and can easily adapt to new programs.

Furthermore, I possess extensive knowledge of technical design and the mechanics of how things work, thanks to my practical experience in the field.

Communication Technologies

*Before the advent of computers and modern technology, people communicating over long distances used traditional means such as letters and the telephone. Nowadays, we have a vast array of communication tools that can complete this task, ranging from email to instant messaging and video calls. While the present and previous means of communication are similar in their general form, they differ in regard to their speed and the range of tools available.*

Similarities in Communication Forms

One similarity between current and previous methods of communication relates to the form of communication. In the past, both written forms, such as letters, were frequently used, in addition to oral forms, such as telephone calls. Similarly,...
